Marktlink, a renowned M&A advisory firm, leverages the dealmaking platform for the whole M&A lifecycle provided by Virtual Vaults. To understand the impact of Virtual Vaults on their operations, we spoke with Remon Lustenhouwer, Partner at Marktlink, and Edurne Martens, Consultant. 

Efficiency and Security in M&A Transactions  
Remon Lustenhouwer, who has been with Marktlink since 2012 and is responsible for their Amsterdam office, highlighted the crucial role Virtual Vaults plays in their M&A processes. "Virtual Vaults has transformed our M&A process from deal origination to closing. The secure data gathering, protection of client information, and seamless transaction execution have become integral to our operations," he explained. The platform's capabilities have been pivotal in Marktlink’s strategy to expand their footprint across Europe and become a market leader in the region. 

Streamlined Workflow with Innovative Features  
Edurne Martens emphasized the efficiency brought by Virtual Vaults' features. "The Q&A feature and split view functionality are game changers. We no longer need to switch between emails, different sites, or folders. Having everything in one place has significantly streamlined our workflow," she stated. Martens also praised the software for its impact on their ability to protect client data and ensure secure transactions. 

24/7 Support and Customization  
Both Lustenhouwer and Martens appreciated the 24/7 support provided by Virtual Vaults. "The support team is always available, and they respond promptly, even during hectic due diligence periods," Martens noted. She also highlighted the advantage of having a customized online portal, which allows them to manage data rooms independently, enhancing efficiency and control. 

Conclusion  
Marktlink's experience with Virtual Vaults underscores the importance of a secure, efficient, and user-friendly data room in the M&A industry. With features like Q&A integration, split view, and round-the-clock support, Virtual Vaults has become an essential partner in Marktlink’s growth and operational strategy.
